we had people like senator bob dole and his wife elizabeth who were on the floor at the time. who's been a staunch advocate for disability policy. so this shouldn't be, anrson, this should not be a partisan issue. the rights of people with disabilities. i mean, come on. and yet, it has been politicized, unfortunately. >> are you hoping that next year you might bring this up again? >> yes. we are going to come back. as you know, you know, it took for african-americans, for day americans, for women, the struggle for equal rights and justice took many, many years and so, too, it is in the disability rights movement. and, you know, i just think this cause, this treaty will happen because it's inevitable. how can you deny the rights of millions of people around the world. so i do think it will come back. senator kerry made a promise to bring it back. and, you know, we're hoping one day that this treaty will pass in the very near future, in fact. >> thank you for being with us. >> thank you for raising this important issue, anderson. >> let us know what you think. follow me @anderso
